First of all, let's not fight. Second, I have a bit to get through here, so I'll start at the top.

You're a Mod or Admin? Do you know if those requests are respected?
Takedown requests are always respected.

Well We're personally requesting to be added to that list as well as "Kit (DireKit)," honestly We don't care for this Community at all and it's not something We want to contribute to any further. If We post our art elsewhere, it'll either be uploaded for our friends or for personal use. We don't want it on this site any longer, though.
Well, if that's your choice, we will respect it, but I think you're making a rather hasty and overly-judgmental decision.

Nobody looks at a DNP list before they post so its pretty much useless besides the fact it gives a false sense of security for the artist.
It's still better to have one so when people ask why a Rosvo pic was deleted, we can point at it and say "because this". Besides, even if realistically no one reads them, it's still part of the rules and should be written down somewhere.

Actually, considering how long it's been, I'm surprised we haven't run into anyone accidentally posting one of Rosvo's pics on here.
That's just because you aren't quick enough to see them. I've deleted several Rosvo pics since his takedown request.
Now, DireKit, about what you said, I think you've got the wrong idea. We actually
do help out artists whenever they ask for it. Just look at some of the threads in the forums for proof of that. We obviously want artists to improve, because that means better art for all of us. In some cases, we've even deleted pics as part of QC while giving tips on how to improve it. But, at the end of the day, we're just a site that shares a common fetish and we come here to discuss it and satisfy ourselves to pics. We're happy to help artists when we can, but all we really want are great pics.
This is still the internet, and people still have opinions, and some of them will be harsh. And it's a lot easier to be harsh when, as Zko pointed out, the artist is nowhere to be found. That said, we can still be harsh even when the artist
is around, though we will always try to word it more as criticism in that case. Sharing anything creative puts you at risk for receiving those sort of comments. Everyone's a critic, as they say. It's just the reality of art. The more people who see it, the more likely it is that some of them will hate it. If you want to completely avoid it, the only option is to not make it public.
